Summer in a bottle, straight from the French Riviera. CIROC Riviera Strawberry Lemonade Vodka 70cl is a Mediterranean-inspired flavoured vodka that pairs the brand's signature five-times-distilled grape base with bright, natural strawberry and lemonade flavours for a spirit that practically begs to be served ice-cold with friends.
About CIROC Riviera Strawberry Lemonade Vodka 70cl
Unlike most vodkas distilled from grain or potato, CIROC starts with fine French grapes, distilled five times for an exceptionally smooth and clean foundation. The strawberry lemonade infusion is then layered on top using natural flavours, blending ripe strawberry sweetness with zesty lemon brightness into a balanced, fruit-forward spirit that captures the feel of blue seas and clear skies. The result is a CIROC expression that bridges the gap between a traditional vodka and a ready-to-mix flavoured spirit.
The 70cl bottle sits at 30% ABV, lighter than a standard vodka but still carrying enough presence to build proper cocktails and hold its own over ice. This CIROC Riviera edition is grape-based and therefore gluten free, adding to its appeal for drinkers with specific dietary requirements. Limited availability means the strawberry lemonade variant tends to move quickly once stocked, so grabbing a bottle of CIROC strawberry lemonade while it is on the shelf is worth acting on rather than waiting.
